As halftime of the Bengals-Pitt game approaches, it is time to take a look at this week's probable winners and how it affects the final playoff spots.
East Division
Beer Me looks to have the win wrapped up this week and it is very likely that the Leprechauns are going to beat Crazy Train. That leaves Beer Me with the East title at 8-6. Crazy Train will be in the 7-7 pool of teams fighting for the last spot.
Central Division
Roller Coasters have already wrapped up the division title and a first round bye. It would appear the The Duck is going down, which would give the Coasters the #1 seed regardless of winning or losing.
Chief's Warriors are going to beat the Hos, which will lock up a spot for the Warriors. The Hos will be in the 7-7 pool.
West Division
It appears the Jabberwocks have beaten The Duck, but because of tie-breakers The Duck will still win the West Division title. The Jabberwocks with the win would clinch their first ever playoff spot.
The Tominators picked the worst possible week to try to set the league record for lowest score and will fall into the pool of teams with a 7-7 record. The Aliens will also finish at 7-7.
If the games hold as I predict, that will leave Crazy Train, Dolemite's Hos, Tominators and Aliens all at 7-7 and fighting for the final playoff spot.
The winner of the tiebreaker between these teams is Crazy Train by virtue of the head to head sweep. Crazy Train beat the Hos in week 6, Aliens in week 7 and Tominators in week 8.
The only variable I see is if the Jabberwocks were to lose to The Duck. Crazy Train also beat the Jabberwocks so they would claim a spot by virtue of head-to-head sweep.
That would then leave Dolemite's Hos, Tominators, Aliens and Jabberwocks tied for the final spot. There is no head-to-head sweep winner amoung those team, although Tominators was very close. It would go to total points and this is too close to call.
As of week 12, the order is
Aliens - 1,425.35
Tominators - 1,423.9
Dolemite's Hos - 1,419
Jabberwocks - 1,393.9
So far this week
Aliens - 1,535.9 with Maroney still to go
Tominators - 1,463.45 with Randy Moss and McGahee still to go
Dolemite's Hos - 1,506.9 with Shayne Graham still to play the second half.
Jabberwocks - 1,501.6 with Willie Parker and Heath Miller to play the second half.
Aliens look good for the final spot, but it is too close to call at this point.
